This season RRCCLC started a new choir.  Our 17 member Concertina Choir  will be a choral experience for Kindergarten and First Grade children who love to sing. The curriculum will feature play oriented exposure to basic singing concepts such as pitch matching, breathing, posture, rhythm and solfege (the Kodaly approach will be used for creating within the singer's aural memory basic interval recognition). Developing a healthy "head voice" tone quality will be the goal. 

Movement and the playing of percussion instruments such as Orff xylophones and small hand help percussion instruments will help the young singer to internalize the steady beat, create their own ensembles and experience musical concepts aurally and kinetically. 

Basic beginning music reading skills will also be introduced (sight reading interval recognition and rhythmic patterns), as well as following a unison choral score.
